GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. The free-to-use open-source image editing software is available on Windows, macOS, and Linux, among others. GIMP 1.0 was released in 1998 and since then GIMP has developed into a capable image and photo editing app.The current edition of GIMP (version 3.0.2) has a security vulnerability that could be exploited to inject malicious code. The developers released GIMP 3.0 back in March, then followed it up a week later with version 3.0.2. A more recent update is not yet available.More specifically, the vulnerability occurs when an ICO file is much larger than its stated image size. The creator of an ICO file can specify any dimensions for the image, but the actual dimensions may be larger, which results in a calculated buffer size that’s too small. How has the GIMP secuerity flaw affected ?
